QUOTEI was going to try a brand new Edelbrock carb and take the Weber back to the rebuilder under warranty but Edelbrock out of stock for months but Holley snipers are available so fuel injection isn't off the table.....

Keep living in your dream world 
A 454mag is 365hp at the crank. All you have different that would increase hp is a bump in compression ratio. The peanut port heads on your engine vs the rect port heads on a 454mag will reduce hp by more than the compression increase. Your cam and the 454 mag cam are very close and actually yours is smaller.

sorry, was replying to arcticfriends round table like, not thinking about you in that. We , and some other long time oso’rs , have discussed many things over the years. So it was an in general comment. Newer engine designs and newer fuel injection enable lot higher compression ratio’s. They make 10:1 look weak. But it’s not on standard bbc and sbc
i can see why you took that tough.
My bad.
